Description

METALLIC LID FOR A CAN
Field of the Invention The present invention refers to a metallic lid of the type having a peripheral side wall provided with a free upper edge and which is designed to be frictionally seated and axially retained in the interior of a seat defined in an upper opening of the can.
Background of the Invention Metallic lids of the type mentioned above are well known. They are formed in a single piece of metal sheet and comprise a generally disk shaped bottom wall, whose peripheral edge incorporates a side wall projecting upwardly, so as to be removably press fitted and axially retained inside a seat defined in an upper opening of a can. Said seat can be defined by a depending tubular projection which is superiorly incorporated to a median opening of the upper wall of a can with a circular or polygonal section.
Metallic lids of the type mentioned above are disclosed and illustrated in patents US2,074,231, US3,347,408, BR-MU8002622-2, BR-MU8002618-4, BR-P19408643-5 and BR-MU7601221-2, the last two pertaining to the same applicant of the present patent application.
In these prior art constructions, the lid structure comprises only the bottom wall and a peripheral side wall, and the axial retention of the lid in the seat defined in the upper opening of the can is usually achieved through engaging means provided in at least one of the parts defined by the parts of lid side wall and seat in the upper opening, in order to operate with the other part. In the construction above, even when the bottom wall of the lid presents a drawn or raised median portion, as taught in the solution disclosed in patents BR-MU7601221-2 and US3, 347,408, the lid structure requires certain cares to be taken when closing forces are applied, otherwise the lid can be irremediable damaged, avoiding a tight and secure closure of the can.
The structural deficiency mentioned above is due to the fact that said lid construction lacks the usual peripheral strength guaranteed in the metallic lids provided with a peripheral annular recess, generally with an inverted substantially trapezoidal cross section, to be 'frictionally seated in the interior of a recess with a complementary cross section an which defines a seat incorporated to the annular upper wall of a can body, such as in the construction known for decades and which is disclosed and illustrated in patent US795,126, filed in 1904.
In this very well known construction, the structure of the lid allows the latter to be pressed when placed on the upper annular wall of the can, without the risk of producing plastic deformations in the profile of the lid, preventing the latter from being tightly retained in its seat in the can.
The construction of the peripheral recess, jointly with its region to which the raised median portion of the lid is joined, imparts a high structural strength to said lid, allowing the users to close the can by seating the lid and applying force in different locations in the lid, without the risk of the lid being deformed or losing its original shape.
Summary of the Invention As a function of the deficiencies cited above and related to the metallic lids provided with_a.side wall_.
to be frictionally seated and axially retained inside a seat defined in an opening of the can, it is an object of the present invention to provide a metallic lid of the type considered herein, which presents a higher structural strength, allowing it to be adequately and correctly closed, without requiring special cares when axial compressive forces are applied upon fitting the lid in the respective seat.
This and other objects and advantages of the present invention are attained by providing a metallic lid of the type mentioned above, which has its bottom wall comprising a peripheral annular portion, adjacent to the side wall of the lid, a median portion and an annular rib portion having a cross section having the approximate form of an inverted "U", with the free edges of its lateral legs being respectively incorporated to the adjacent edges of the peripheral annular portion and the median portion of the bottom wall.
With the construction generically defined above, the median portion and the peripheral annular portion of the bottom wall of the can are joined to each other through said annular rib portion, which projects preferably upwardly from said median and peripheral annular portions of the bottom wall, defining a structural element incorporated to the bottom wall itself and spaced from the side wall by a radial distance corresponding to the radial width of the peripheral annular portion of the bottom wall.
The provision of the annular rib portion imparts to the lid a structural strength that is substantially higher than that achieved with the prior art constructions mentioned above, with no need of increasing the thickness of the metal sheet that forms the lid.
Moreover, the construction of the lid object of the present invention can be achieved so as to maintain the median portion of the bottom wall in a higher plane in relation to the plane containing the peripheral annular portion of said bottom wall, allowing the median portion, jointly with the annular rib portion, to operate as a seating element for placing one lid over the other, when lids are stacked in a lid feeding device of a can closing machine.
Brief Description of the Drawings The invention will be described below, with reference being made to the enclosed drawings, by way of examples of a possible construction for the present lid, and in which:
Figure 1 is a partial diametrical sectional view of the upper region of a can, in whose discharge end opening is fitted a lid constructed according to the known prior art solutions;
Figure 2 i.s a similar view to that of fig. 1, but illustrating a lid constructed according to the present invention; and Figure 3 is a partial. diametrical sectional view of a plurality of lids of the present invention when stacked one over the other.
Detailed Description of the Invention As illustrated in the appended drawings, the lid of the present invention is applied to a can 10, which is graphically illustrated only by the upper portion of its side wall 11, to whose upper edge 12 is affixed, usually by a double seam 12, an external peripheral edge of an annular upper wall 13 in whose median region is provided an opening 14 to whose edge is incorporated a depending tubular projection 15 which defines a seat (S) for the lid of the can. In the prior art construction shown in figure __1__of_ the_ drawings and which is object of Brazilian patent BR-PI
9408643-5 of the applicant of the present invention, the depending tubular projection 15 is provided with a lower end portion that is bent inwardly the opening 14, then upwardly and against the depending tubular projection 15, so as to form a continuous tubular rib 5 16 which can have, for example, a circular shape, as described in said prior art patent.
However, it should be understood that the construction of the depending tubular projection 15 of the annular upper wall 13 of the can 10 may have different constructive arrangements, as illustrated and discussed in the prior art documents mentioned above, without said constructive modifications altering the constructive and functional objectives of the present invention.
As mentioned above, the lid 20 of the present invention is formed in a single piece of metal sheet, comprising a bottom wall 21 usually in the form of a flat disk and which incorporates, superiorly and peripherally, a side wall 22 provided with a free upper edge 23 and designed to be frictionally seated and axially retained inside the seat "S" defined by the depending tubular projection 15 of the opening 14 provided in the annular upper wall 13.
In the exemplary construction shown in the drawings, the lid 20 has its side wall 22 provided with a continuous peripheral recess 24, inside which is sealingly fitted and axially retained the continuous tubular rib 16 of the depending tubular projection 15.
In the illustrated construction, both the continuous annular rib 16 of the depending tubular projection 15 and the continuous peripheral recess 24 of the side wall 22 of the lid 20 present a contour which is at least partially circular and complementary, so--that the mutual seating of said parts promotes not only the axial retention of the lid 20 in the opening 14 of the can 10, but also a sealing effect in this region of frictional seating. It should be understood, however, that the continuous annular rib 16 and the continuous peripheral recess 24 might present configurations other than the tubular circular one illustrated in the drawings, as shown in the prior art documents mentioned in the beginning of the description.
Still according to the illustrated embodiment, the lid 20 has its free upper edge 23 bent outwardly, downwardly and against the side wall 22, so as to define a tubular upper rib 23a to be seated on the annular upper wall 13 of the can 10, in the region that surrounds the opening 14. Accordingly, it should be understood that the free upper edge 23 of the side wall 22 of the lid 20 can have different constructive forms, as illustrated in the prior art documents mentioned above, without said modifications of form and arrangement in the upper region of the side wall 22 of the lid 20 altering the functional characteristics of the invention proposed herein.
According to the invention, the bottom wall 21 of the lid 20 comprises a peripheral annular portion 21a adjacent to the side wall 22, a median portion 21b, which is usually flat and disk shaped, and an annular rib portion 25, whose cross section has the approximate form of an inverted "U", with the free edges of its lateral legs being respectively incorporated to the adjacent peripheral edges of the peripheral annular portion 21a and median portion 21b of the bottom wall 21.
The annular rib portion 25 is stamped jointly with the remainder of the lid 20, in order to project preferably upwardly from the peripheralannular portion 21a and median portion 21b of the bottom wall 21. As illustrated, the radial width of the peripheral annular portion (21a) of the bottom wall (21) is approximately equal to the height of the side wall (22) of the lid (20), allowing the annular rib portion 25 to be spaced from said side wall 22 by an adequate distance, so as to give to the marginal region of the lid 20 the necessary structural strength to resist the compressive forces to be applied over the lid 20 upon fitting the latter in the opening 14 of the can 10.
Still according to the preferred embodiment, the median portion of the bottom wall 21 lies in a higher plane in relation to a plane containing the peripheral annular portion 21a of said bottom wall 21. This constructive arrangement allows the median portion 21b of the bottom wall 21 to operate jointly with the annular.rib portion 25 to define a seating element to place one lid over the other, upon the stacking of said lids in a lid feeding device in an automatic can closing machine, or to allow the lids 20 to be automatically fitted in respective annular upper walls 13 before they are double seamed to the side wall 11 of the cans 10.
As better shown in figure 3, during the stacking of the lids 20, the external and internal peripheral edges of the peripheral annular portion 21a are respectively seated on the peripheral recess 24 of the side wall 22 of the lid 20 and on the annular rib portion 25, guaranteeing a mutual seating for the lids 20, with their axes being coaxially disposed and with the free upper edges 23 of the side walls 22 being maintained axially spaced apart.
The annular rib portion 25 is further constructed and dimensioned in such a way as to lie inferiorly to a plane Ps (fig. 2) containing the upper free edge_23 of the side wall 22 of the lid 20, such relative dimensioning of the lid parts being made as a function of the stacking characteristics defined in figure 3 discussed above.
In the illustrated embodiment, the annular rib portion 25 has an upper edge 25a lying in a plane Pm (fig. 2) which intersects the side wall 22 of the lid 20 usually in the region of the peripheral recess 24 thereof in the constructions in which the side wall 22 has a continuous peripheral recess 24 of the type for receiving a corresponding continuous peripheral rib 16 of the depending tubular projection 15 of the upper annular wall 13 of the can 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the peripheral annular portion 21a and the median portion 21b of the bottom wall 21 of the lid 20 are flat, said median portion 21b of the bottom wall 21 being disposed in a plane that is slightly inferior to a plane Pi (fig. 2) containing the free lower edge of the adjacent lateral leg of the annular rib portion 25, said median portion 21b presenting a marginal annular region 21c upwardly and outwardly inclined so as to match said free lower edge of the annular rib portion 25.
While only one embodiment for the lid has been illustrated herein, in conjunction with a seat construction, it should be understood that changes in the form of the components are possible, without departing from the constructive concept defined in the appended claims.
